Pride and Predator

~As if Pride and Prejudice and Zombies from my last post wasn't enough, here comes yet another fantastic Jane Austen parody: a film titled Pride and Predator (no, no, not that Pride and Predator), directed by Will Clark and produced by a company owned by, of all people, Elton John.

According to The New York Times, "The movie...will juxtapose brooding aristocrats with a brutal alien that lands in 1800s-era Britain, attacking residents and leaving them with neither sense nor sensibility." I imagine that the appearance of a 7-foot-tall, heavily armed, dreadlocked, spine-collecting alien hunter will give those lords and ladies something a bit more immediate to consider than arranging advantageous marriages.

Elton John's company, Rocket Pictures, hopes to begin production later this year, so the mayhem will have to wait. In the meantime, here's a question to ponder: Will the Predator wear appropriate period clothing? And will he sing "Rocket Man"??
